Why do we believe that most of the mass of the milky way is in the form of dark matter?

Nataliya [291]3 years ago

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Dark matter is a type of matter, whose composition is unknown and which corresponds to 80% of the matter in the universe. Its name refers to the fact it does not emit or interact with any type of electromagnetic radiation, being completely transparent throughout the electromagnetic spectrum.

However, it interacts with the known matter through <u>gravity</u>.

In this sense, it is believed that the Milky Way has 90% dark matter and only 10% ordinary matter (known matter). Because, like gravity, dark matter can not be observed directly, however its existence is inferred through the movement of the stars and the cosmic dust within the galaxy.

What does basketballs have inside of it
FrozenT [24]
Hi there!

Great question!

Basketballs have air inside them. A special pump is used to insert the air. That's why you can lift the basketballs off the ground easily. If it was a solid, though, you'd hardly be able to lift the ball up! Basketballs can float, too, because anything with air inside can float. If it were solid, it would sink in the water easily.

Hope this helps! :D

A wave transfers:<br> Water<br> particles<br> energy<br> matter
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Particles in a water wave exchange kinetic energy for potential energy. When particles in water become part of a wave, they start to move up or down. This means that kinetic energy (energy of movement) has been transferred to them

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

1.3636

Explanation:

Write the expression for the refractive index.

n=c/v

c= speed of light in air

v= speed of light in material

=(3×10^8 m/s)/(2.2×10^8 m/s)

 =1.3636

Kiera, a 330 N girl, steps in water that someone spilt on the floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between Kiera and the f
shutvik [7]

Answer:

<em>The force of kinetic friction between Kiera and the floor is 9.24 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When an object is moving and encounters friction in rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and/or velocity because the friction force opposes motion.

The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:

Fr=\mu N

Where μ is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.

If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:

N = W

Thus, the friction force is:

Fr=\mu W

Kiera, the W=330 N girl steps in water that has a coefficient of friction of μ=0.028 with the floor.

The kinetic friction force is:

Fr = 0.028*330

Fr = 9.24 N

The force of kinetic friction between Kiera and the floor is 9.24 N
